Mineral & Enveloping
This wine, crafted from gently destemmed and pressed grapes, undergoes natural decantation and ferments with wild yeast in stainless steel tanks and amphoras with strict temperature control. Aged for 12 months in amphoras and Slavonian oak barrels, and refined in the bottle for at least 6 months, it presents a straw-yellow hue with golden highlights. Aromas of pineapple, golden apple, and yellow flowers, alongside delicate sweet spice notes, precede an enveloping, fresh, and savory palate with a creamy texture and minerality. Elegant and complex, it reaches its peak 3 to 4 years after the harvest.
About the Winery
Cantina Roccafiore
For Leonardo Baccarelli, savouring a glass of wine has always meant the measured enjoyment of a product rich in meaning. From the predilection for the South Tyrolean Schiava, able to combine finesse and levity, came the desire to replicate this sense of poise in Umbria. The project was started towards the end of the 1990s with the desire to realise a clear vision: bring to life a concept untied in its constituent components – the landscape, climate, vines, tradition – in a perspective that looked towards innovation as a bridge to the future, without falling into nostalgic temptations. The graduality in acting, devoid of uncertainties, has forged a business model upheld by sustainability and the development of the territory.
